Radiohead and Weezer were the only good albums this year. Who would've thought 2 washed up 90s bands could do that?

>>68663319
this

>>68663321
Radiohead never became washed and

In terms of songwriting (not experimentation), their period from Amnesiac-TKOL was lousy compared to the Bends and OK Computer. The only stand out was In Rainbows and that was just about 10 years ago.

>>68663321
Bowie? AnCo? Deakin?

DANCE IN THE WATER
AND NOT GET WET

>>68663403
Blackstar was mediocre for a Bowie release, I get that people are seeing it as a deep epitaph though. Animal Collective have never had a good album.

>>68663398
In Rainbows had lousy songwriting? Jigsaw Falling into Place is a beautiful composition, I can give you TKOL and maybe even HTTT but that's nonsense

>>68663437
I'm saying In Rainbows was the only highlight from that period. Very solid album.

>all these plebs not on the avant-garde train

Tyler Damon and Tashi Dorji had an amazing collaboration

Fire!'s She Sleeps, She Sleeps is top-tier

Anna Hogberg Attack is contender for jazz album of the year

Dow Jones & the Industrials comp that came out a month ago is fuckin' crazy great

Bottomless Pit was phenomenal
Blackstar

the avant-realm has been kind to me this year, but yeah, most babby-/moo/core is pretty lame. As it usually is.

>>68663461
>Bottomless Pit

Better than NOTM, but nowhere near as good as The Money Store or No Love Deep Web. They'll never be able to return to that magic.

>>68663461

>not pleb
>not /mu/core
thanks for invalidating yer post

>>68663479
>bottomless pit is not good meme

>>68663319
is my version of Blond edited? why is there high pitched voice in this song?

>>68663489
>one album invalidates all those others you've never listened to
nice

>>68663479
this is absolutely wrong given that NOTM is actually their best

Junior Boys released an album and an EP this year, both of which are excellent. So I'm happy

>>68663504
I'm sorry, anyone who likes Death Grips is an absolute philistine

>>68663501
I didn't say it was bad. I'd only rank TMS and NLDW above it, but way above it.

>>68663502
I thinks that is just you dude mine doesn't have any high pitched voice

>>68663517
You'd think that, but you'd be wrong.

None of you are proving your point
>>68663508
This was good

>>68663450
Ah I see where you're coming from, yeah IR was the only "great" album in that stretch although I'd still say Amnesiac is a top 5 Radiohead album

>>68663537
Nah.

>not the absolute essence of a fedora
nice try, lad

>>68663522
no wonder it sounded so fucking shit to me

>>68663591
I don't think you even know who Death Grips is now. The essence of fedoras is Power Metal and bad prog like 80s Yes and Dream Theater.

>>68663538
>the guy who lists out several great albums no one on this board knows or talks about

here's another one: Blood Quartet - Deep Red
and another: Thor & Friends - s/t

if you think 2016 sucks, your taste is either shit or you have the searching capacity of a 12 year old

Enjoy your good tunes \m/

Damn near every active /mu/-core artist released an album this year

I doubt you're so patrician you don't like a single one of those artists

Same, my underage Reddit posting friend.

It's only shit if you don't look hard enough, which is the same for any year

>>68663303
No, on the contrary this year has been pretty great, especially for metal and electronic music... Maybe it's just a bad year for pop and indie music.

>inb4 metal sucks/is for kids

>>68663428
but how tf can you not enjoy sung tongs?

aoty is easy but runner ups a total cluster fuck which I think is a good thing

for example why in the fuck would I give them anything else for what they "added" to this song

I think a 5 is actually generous

>>68663303
I just checked and unfortunately have to agree. There's only three albums from 2016 that have gotten repeat listens.
